Default 07 Tahoe install

Here are some pictures of the start of the install in my 2007 Tahoe. Plan on using a computer as the main source to a Alpine PXA-H900. Will also be using a DVA-9861 when I need to play a disc. For amps its a pair of Sinfoni 45x2 for mids and tweets, Sinfoni 90x2 for mid bass, and a Genesis Dual Mono for subs. As for as speakers I plan to use the Focal Be tweeters. For mids it's undecided, and mid bass Dynaudio MW-170. The rack in the pictures is going to go between the rear captains chairs.

Here is a picture of the finished bezel for the touch screen monitor. The unfinished part is going to be where the head unit is going to be located in the center console.

The three speakers are the Scan Speak 4" Revelator, Hybrid Audio Legatia, and Focal Be 3W2. Not sure which one I am going to use. I plan to give them all a good listen to in the car before installing the winer.

Yep. It has a very forward dash the should work out really well. The diffrence between the path length difference from the kicks and dash was only about 5cm.

If you decide to sell the 4.5" revelator I am interested already. I was looking at getting some new ones, but don't want to spend quite what they sell for.

to test them just stick rubbermaid containers behind them. Let us know what you like.

Do you have an active digital crossover? If not get one.

Put drivers ear level or point them up off the corners at your ears.

Keep us updated.

Default Re: 07 Tahoe install

For the crossover/eq I am using the H900 so I shouldn't have a problem there. Here are some more pictures.

The two Sinfoni 45x2 will be under the rear seats. You can see the mounting location and large cut our in the cover panel where they will be located. When all is said and done I will be dying (at least trying) the cover to match the carpet in the car.

The wiring between the two seats is where the amp/eq/computer rack is going to be.

I am the same way. I had a 2003 Yukon before this and was planning on getting the 07 Denali until I saw the Tahoes. Much better looking front end. Do wish I had 6.0 liter engine though.

If that truly is possitive even tho it appears to be going into conduit silicon around it so it doesn't chaffe over time.

Are those the streetwire terminals that use the smaller fuses? If so they are VERY current limiting.

Nice work by the way.

They are Streetwires but without the fuses. I am using 200 amp circuit breakers instead.

The 1/0 from the battery is going through a conduit. I smoothed out the edges and the wire goes straight up through the mount for the fuse block.

A fuse only limits current when it's supposed to... That's the point. Untill the melt (break) point it (the fuse) will easily carry full rated load, plus some surge.

Thanks. Well the right side is now done. Time to put the computer on the rack. As far as the aluminum on the rack, I will let you in on a secret. Its actually aluminum covered formica laminate. I built the rack out of plywood first then covered it in the laminate. Don't even ask how long it took. Too long. If I was to do it over again I would probably get the stainless version. The aluminum scratches real easy.

As far as price for the Formica, it was about $200 for a 4x10 sheet. Not cheap but once you get an idea in your head nothing else will do.

Nice work here! The formica does really give it that "functional" look and it matches great with the amps. Great attention to detail on all that you've done.
Quick question:
Will you be covering the center amp, or are you planning to trim the threaded rod? Just curious!
